Summary for the month of Nov 2017
Here’s a summary of activity for November, 2017. I didn’t get as many reviews and things done this month as I had hoped.

Hopsy is flopsy
Hopsy sounded awesome, but doesn’t deliver. I’d been considering trying them out for a long time, and finally decided to put in an order using a promo to get 4 growlers for just $20. I ended up having to wait because they were out of stock of things I wanted to try, and then I… Continue reading Hopsy is flopsy

Designing a new identity for Woodland Action
As part of my initial site evaluation and proposal for the Woodland Community Service Center, I suggested the design of an organizational identity. Subsequently, the organization was re-named Woodland Action, and I got a burst of energy around the name. I worked through a design transformation based on the new name, and developed a full… Continue reading Designing a new identity for Woodland Action
Extending the Call for Submissions to Hermetic Library album for 2015
Just after announcing the most recent call for submissions, I had a major meltdown during a heatwave and my computer literally melted down (or at least the GPU did). I was unable to properly promote the upcoming album. Then I procrastinated. Then I got busy. Then I procrastinated more. Therefore, while I’ve already told some… Continue reading Extending the Call for Submissions to Hermetic Library album for 2015
AMORC altar set
Recently I found this interesting set of AMORC altar equipment, two candleholders and an hermetic cross, and picked it up thinking that someone I know would be interested in having it. If you’re interested in these, let me know. (These now have a home.) They’re funky and cool, you know? One of the candleholders has… Continue reading AMORC altar set
By the pricing of my goods something capitalist this way comes
I recently ran into a video posted by Paleofuture about some grand visioning done by Knight-Ridder about the future of the newspaper: This is not only some very interesting prognostication now that we’re in the era of ubiquitous iPads (You know, I just realized I’ve finally gotten over the loss of my Newton!

The thing about collective bargaining
The thing about collective bargaining: it’s what congress does in a republic; it’s what management does on behalf of shareholders; so … I deny the premise that there’s anything wrong with the compensation package paid to the public workers in Wisconsin for their work. The current bout of union busting is a coldly calculated political… Continue reading The thing about collective bargaining
Can’t see the trees through the clear cut
Parallel infrastructure may be the only way to protect people from both corporations and governments. Of course, for decades the conservative agenda in this country and internationally has been systematically dismantling public infrastructures of all kinds, and fighting the development of any real new infrastructure. We’ve been losing infrastructure, frameworks and safeguards like a clear… Continue reading Can’t see the trees through the clear cut

Robert Reich: The Coming Shutdowns and Showdowns: What's Really at Stake "There's no doubt that government budgets are in trouble. The big lie is that the reason is excessive spending.

In “The Pentacles and the Tree: Are There Crowleyian Influences on Feri Lore?” [see], Valerie Walker makes connections between the various pentacles of Feri with the Tree of Life, mapping some correspondences between sepherot to the points of the pentacles. Beginning there, as background, I’d add that I was struck by the following fragment from… Continue reading Pentacle of iron for thelemites

8-bits of Xmas
There was a posting about an 8-bit xmas album over at BoingBoing’s Offworld; which has been on and off-line a couple times already, is being hit pretty hard. That got me looking for more.
